Two more major shipping firms are suspending passage through a Red Sea strait vital for global trade, after Yemeni rebel attacks in the area. The decision by the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and CMA CGM comes after a similar decision on Friday by two of the world’s largest shipping companies, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd. Houthi rebels have been targeting vessels to pressure Israel over its war with Hamas in the Gaza.
